Straw Bale Building Updates - Drywall!
Page 9

After finishing the stucco work, we took some time off to enjoy our families and friends. That was hard work. Then we jumped into the task of finishing out the walls and ceilings. We also found time to complete another door. We are getting pretty close to texture and paint.

Door #2 hung.
This is a close up of the engraving that is on both sides of this door. (Its the east door.) We have all the rest of the doors glued together, we just need to complete the engravings and finishing.
We have the inside drywall nearly complete and some of the taping completed. This is a picture from inside the chapel area.
We have roof insulated with R-40 blown insulation in addition to the R-12 rolled insulation under the metal roof. We put a screen under the eaves, with a rolled bamboo to keep with the "earthy" look.
We used store bought, all wood inner doors. We thought they looked nicer than the cheap hollow doors, but were still a lot easier to put up than building our own. (The outer doors are enough)
The little niches we put through out the house.
This is a picture from the hall into the bathroom. We have the shower/ bathtub stall finished with backer board and ready to tile. The rest of the bathroom has the green water resistant drywall put in place.
